This would have worked much better as something like what Second Life has recently tried (again? Love Second Life? Get more with Premium and all-new Premium Plus 🌟)
Then some extra revenue might have come in, rather than a possible crash.
A subscription is fine.
The highest sub on the market while also offering pay2win mechanics and cosmetics on top with very lil content and love given for the game, that is what makes people quit.

Prefer the subscription model personally, provided I’m getting regular content updates for my money… Unfortunately CCP has been removing content recently (scarcity, indy changes, BRM/ESS etc).
All stick no carrot combined with increasing the sub price has not been a good combination!!

its called the rantanplan effect.
Been away for a little over 10 months. Was looking at coming back with my 9 accounts, but after seeing this I shall take my money elsewhere.
$29.50 au/month, that’s $265.50 au/month up from $22au/month ($198 au/month) which is rather steep.
You’re already having huge issues keeping your player base, without a price increase.
If your answer to a dwindling cash flow is to raise prices as compensation due to a dwindling player base, you are severely misguided.
Sadly, this game has just turned into a huge cash sink.
You need to cease with the cosmetic garbage that has no bearing on gameplay, and focus on actual gameplay. People will be more inclined to spend the $$ then.
Good luck for the future.

I quite like the increase. It has made me fitter as now go out for a ride on my bicycle instead of playing EVE.

You are kidding right?
I might return in the future to do things I always wanted to do like collect the corpse of my idol Githany the Red to use as a lampshade

I’m so disappointed to post this as I don’t have any time on the forums. I had 8 accounts at my most active but don’t see any reason to sub. The game is overpriced, there is nothing fun about it anymore, and watching fanfest was just depressing.
There are some easy things to do. Fix a few things, get competitively priced, make it exciting again for all these folks that are passionate about this game and want to see it continue on.
I hope CCP figures this out. I really do. I want Eve to continue on but I honestly was thinking about what happens to all my time in the game if this game dies. I hope not. Please do something.

Hey
Sorry to interfere but did you look at the multiple account discount ?
I just learned about it lately but if you link your accounts then you have a discount.
Though I hope it’s a permanent discount.

Hello @Galac_Sticott ,
Does the notion of false discounts speak to you?
To read you, a priori no, alas! …
In France, this is called commercial manipulation.
Generally, it is better to abstain.

I mean. CCP aint hideing the fact they raised monthly subscription prices BUT also provided bulk purchases to negate that and even get a discount from the former 15$ USD price. So yes bulk purchases speak to me as a consumer. It’s sad that CCP did rase the price but we gotta deal with it or simply quit. So I don’t know what you mean by false discounts? All I see is a bulk purchase option for people who multi box. Yes CCP has been pushing multiboxing this is nothing new.

I stay in between and i am writing this so that CCP knows that i will resub again when a reasonable promotional discount arrives or when the regular discounts reach a sane level again.
Whatever happens first is up to CCP/Pearl Abyss.
Also i am not seeing the multi-account discounts like in three posts above this…and i have linked in the region of 10+ accounts. So i sit and wait…playing as alpha on one account until something happens.

A price INCREASE after 3 years without new content and a nerfing spree which made the game super grindy? What are the devs smoking?!
Well, that is one more reason not to come back!

This. I won EVE in early 2021 and i havent regretted it so far. In fact, im happy that i havent financially supported the current development direction of EVE! Paying more for less content … that is a rip-off.

CCP, you need to reconsider this. I have already cancelled one account. Just cannot afford 80 dollars per month.

So you never read the texts? However, they are the foundations of our democracies; for the most recent texts on the French side, and this on the basis of a European directive:
Good reading.
